Hope found my forever home

16/12/2023

Happy Gotcha day to Kali, (was Hope).

One year ago today a nervous leggy pup came to us as a foster, she got on so well with Basil found my forever home, we decide to adopt her.

There have been challenges along the way, but she has soared in confidence, and is the most loving, playful dog and adores her big bro, even though she plays a bit rough at times.

Thank you so much LJ Ashton for matching her to us, (ever the perfect matchmaker 😉), we love her to bits warts and all. Thanks to the whole team too that do an amazing job.

Here’s a few pics over the year.

Hi All

According to my passport I’m one today! 🎉

I’ve been in the UK now for 2.5 months and love my life. I have a wonderful brother Basil found my forever home who is very patient with me when I’m bonkers. I have lovely family that love and look after me.

I love my walks and being in the countryside, still a little unsure in busier places but loads better.

Today I went to my favourite cafe and had a homemade sausage roll which I shared with Baz.

Mum says I’m doing really well and wouldn’t be without me now.

Loving my life.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Hope everyone is doing well, so this week has been a big week for me, I had my first check up at the V.E.T I was a bit nervous at first but the vet gave me a couple of treats and I soon felt a bit better. Mum told the vet I had a bit of a dodgy tum but it’s lots better now, that I’ve had some magic paste.

Also, over the last couple of days mum was brave and decided to let me off the long line! I’ve been really good and recall is going well. Just once nose got the better of me and I took a little bit of time to come back but I did, especially as Basil found my forever home went to get me.

Mum and dad are very proud of me.

Here’s a little video of me and Basil having a run and me coming back for a scrummy treat.

Have a good week all.

Love Kali (was Hope) 🐾🐶x

Hi All

Kali here (was Hope), I’m almost 7 weeks in to being in the UK, and I’m loving it.

The last few weeks

I’ve done several new things, had a 1:1 with a lovely trainer to help with my nervousness, it’s working and I’m slowly getting there.

I’ve been to the secure field several times and had a lot of off lead time, especially as I was in season.

I have been to the beach for the first time, was a bit unsure at first but really loved it in the end.

I’ve also been to a cafe twice which was a big step for me.

Met lots of dogs and nice people, can still be a bit nervy with some men.

Most importantly I love my big brother Basil found my forever home he’s played with me, showed me the ropes and given me confidence. I think he does get a bit fed up with me at times though and has his own space. We also have a few snuggles together too!
Thanks to everyone that has helped me get to the UK, where I have a lovely life.

Love
Kali 🐶🐾❤️x

Hi all

It’s been a little while since I posted.

I’ve been in the UK for 5 weeks now, and wow what a lot I’ve been through and done.

I came over as a foster and I worked my magic and foster parents have adopted me.

I have a lovely new brother who I adore and follow and play with.

My name has changed from Hope to Kali.

I was nervous of foster dad, but now pretty much a daddy’s girl.

I’ve met a lot of the family and experienced Christmas, which was nice lots of pressies and treats, yum!

Been to my first training session, been to the woods, secure fields etc.

Unfortunately, the last couple of weeks have been annoying as I’ve come into season. My hormones are all over the place and I really fancy my brother Basil found my forever home.

Loving my life here (apart from the rain).

Love
Kali (was Hope) xx🐾🐶

Hi All

So today I’ve been in the UK for 2 weeks, and what a couple of weeks.

From a nervy leggy girl, to a blossoming leggy girl. From finding a home to found a home and a big brother, Basil found my forever home that looks after me, although sometimes I think he wishes I wasn’t here, especially treat time as I can be a bit of a thief 😀.

I’ve worked my charm and have a new mum and dad. I love them as much as they do me. ❤️

I’ve now got a new name too, it’s KALI, and in just a day I know it and come to it (mostly).

I’ve experienced horrible rain and wind, met other doggies, seen horses and cows. Been to the woods twice, gone to the secure field once (going tomorrow too). Christmas and New Year has been good and met the family.

I’m still a little wary of people but getting better.

I think I’m going to like it here.

Thanks to all that have rescued me, paid for my vaccines, looked after me and loved me.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Love
Kali (was Hope)

Hi All

I’ve been having a nice time and getting braver and really like it here.

I’ve been having walks and playing with Basil and his pal Cooper and enjoying the fields on the long line.

I think I’ve worked my magic, as everyone has fallen for me, so it looks as if I’m going to stay here.

Loving life.

Hi all

I’ve now been in the UK a week now. I was a bit nervous to start with, but have blossomed in the past 7 days.

I’ve had no accidents, been in my crate all night and slept well. I love my food sometimes a bit too much 😉.

I’ve been out for walks and have met other doggies and people, still a bit shy of some men and noises.

I love my big bro Basil found my forever home, he’s been looking after me and we’ve played a lot.

Yesterday was strange as mum’s parents came round for a big dinner, I was a little unsure but handled things well, even got a lovely dinner, posh treats and pressies.

Today we’ve been over the fields it’s great for sniffing and love following Basil through the little tracks, mum’s not so keen as I’m on the lead, don’t know why she won’t let me off!!!

Back home now having a well deserved snooze.

I think I’m doing ok, lots of fans already and foster mum and dad keep saying I’m doing very well and I’m such a sweetie, think that’s good.

Have a lovely day
Love
Hope x 🐶🐾

PS Mum’s rubbish with the camera at the moment as I’m very dark and quick.

Hi all

So we went to the secure dog field this morning just for a little bit to see how I was.

I was a bit unsure at first but once out I did a bit of sniffing and followed Basil found my forever home for a bit then he decided to go on the agility stuff and I wondered around sniffing and exploring, found some rabbit poo too which was tasty.

I’m now back home and having a snooze now.

Love
Hope

PS we missed the rain too

I’ve now been here 3 days and have been a bit scared/nervous of things, but have now started to show my character a bit more and starting not be so scared.

I love toys and have been taking them one by one into the garden, for foster mum to go back and bring them in. I like my snuggles and snoozes too.

I go and do my business in the garden now I’m not so scared.

I love my food and get excited when it comes. I was a bit wary of foster dad at first but getting use to him now, we’ve had a few cuddles now, he’s alright, but can be noisy.

My foster bro Basil found my forever home is getting used to me being around and let’s me play with his toys and share his bed.

I’m very affectionate and can give good kisses too.

I’ve been told that I’m going to a dog secure field tomorrow with Basil, which will be nice.

Love

I’m still a bit unsure of things, but getting there slowly.

The weather is a bit better today so I’ve been in the garden more and have had a play of hide and seek with Basil found my forever home.

Couldn’t find him at first.

Please share to find me a forever home, I’m currently in West Sussex.

Thanks
Hope x

I’ve been having a good explore around the garden this afternoon as the rain has eased a bit, not keen on that.

Hi All

I arrived yesterday from Cyprus and a little bit nervous, but have found a safe place in the house. I’m a lovely girl looking for a nice forever home.

Foster mum reckons I’m crossed with a giraffe as I’ve got very, very long legs.

Foster mum has had trouble taking photos of me so sorry for the poor quality of my loveliness.

I’ve got a foster brother too, Basil. He’s a bit unsure of me at the moment.

More photos and updates to come.

Love
Hope
